Sweet Sorrow - Chapter 7

“So Cheah, hows Christine?” Tanya Ridzuan sambil memakai seta beltnya. “She is fine. Christine is in Dubai. I just sent her off at the airport. So feel like spending with you guys. But the rest were tied up with things. So hows your work”? Asked cheah while driving heading to the main road. “I just finishedan operation last nite. Quite exhausted. M on call for the whole week.” Ridzuan explains. “So, hows your lady Lydia, Ridz.?” Asked Cheah curiously. “She must be fine. Well I don’t know. You called me when I was thinking about her. I think I miss her.” Tetiba sahaja tuturkata Ridzuan menjadi longlai. “That’s a good sign bro. Love is blossoming ah?” Cheah sounded so excitingly. “I don’t know lah Cheah, confuse and many mixed feeling. I pun tak pasti lah Cheah. I missed her, but tak pasti pula jika ini yang dikatakan cinta.” Ridzuan sounded confused. “Ridzuan, why don’t u ask her out?” Cheah suggested. “Eh, mana boleh. Takutlah, kalau-kalau die tersalah faham ker ape ker. Tak nak lah. Awal sangat Cheah.” Ridzuan showed his hesitation. “Ridz, zaman sekarang kau tak boleh tunggu lama-lama. If you think she is the one, why wait. Go ahead bro.” Cheah tries to convince Ridzuan. “Hmm…she is not even replying my sms. So how m I suppose to open up to her. I cant rush into this yet Cheah since I liked this feelings. Perasaan rindu yang menggugat hati ni macam sedap pula. Let me feel it for some time.” Ridzuan smiles while caressing his chest. “Aku faham Ridz. Well I have gone through this and still going through it. I love those feelings too. One thing is for sure bro, u r in love.” Cheah teases Ridzuan. “ok, enough..stop it Cheah…hahahha….drive carefully….enough Cheah…” Ridzuan tersenyum lebar. “So where are going to?” Asked Cheah. “Let’s go to Paparich. I do have craving for their Laksa.” “So laksa here we comeee..!” Cheah speeds off to Paparich.
“Wah Ridzuan, I must bring Christine here next time, she’ll love the laksa.” Kata Cheah penuh gembira.
“So, Cheah, when are you planning your big day then?” Asked Ridzuan sambil meminum jus buah applenya.
“My big day? Lama lagi Ridz. I belum settle lagi. Rumah baru nak beli. So nantilah. I need more time. Nak rasa nikmat bercinta sebelum kahwin.” Replied Cheah sambil senyum sinis.
“By the way, how much do you know about Lydia?” Asked Cheah while checking on the menu card.
“To tell you frankly Cheah, I would love to know more about her. I could feel some chemistry between us. Hmm….i think I like her la.” Answer Ridzuan with his blushing face.
“Actually last night Jasmine called me and we were talking over the phone for nearly an hour.” Kata Cheah.
“One hour? That’s too long. What were you guys chatting about?” Asked Ridzuan shockingly.
“We were taking about Rahul and you.” Jawap Cheah. “Why me and Rahul? U guys have been gossiping huh?” asked Ridzuan menyindir.
“Not gossiping la. Myself and Jasmine, we are planning for a BBQ session next week. More to couples day out lah. So thought of inviting Sanjana and Lydia too.” Explains Cheah.
“Eik..this is weirdo…why BBQ all of a sudden..mesti ada sesuatu ni. Let me order another drink in a meanwhile k. Interesting la our topic.” Sahut Ridzuan sambil mendongak air di gelasnya yang hmpir habis.
“Nothing special la Ridz…kita ni kan kawan…so I and jasmine macam nak lihat kita bercouple lah.” Said Cheah. “But how about Jasmine…she will be all alone there.” Asked Ridzuan.
“That’s the twist my dear. She said she wanna surprise us.” Kata Cheah. “Oh..so that’s a whole new story now”. Laughs Ridzuan.
